Mojang Releases First Official Minecraft Update

Back when Minecraft was in beta, its already ridiculously large fan-base was treated to considerable updates on a regular basis. But, since the game went "official" in November of last year, the community that had come to expect consistent additions have since found little different in the lonesome land of blocks and zombies they call home. They should be happy to hear, however, that as of today, the game is finally receiving some post-release attention.

Minecraft Update 1.1 fixes a few bugs while tweaking some gameplay. Here's a list of some of the changes straight from the developers' official blog:

The blog post also linked to a video (as seen above) about the update, made by popular YouTube Minecraft movie makers, H.A.T. Films.

Personally, I'm not a Minecrafter (Minecraftsman? Minecraftifarian?), but as a gamer, I can definitely understand how important it is that a developer continue to offer its attention to a popular game, especially one so naturally evolutionary as Minecraft. While the community has yet to see any major changes, I wouldn't be surprised if the team makes some key additions in the near future (after they fix the mobile edition, that is).
